Friendship has really added a nice dynamic to the real life interaction aspect.
We did a raid at the park this afternoon, at least one person came out just for the daily interaction with a few people. A second Regice egg popped while we waited. We finished the first and all just hung out for 40 minutes trading and talking.

Alolan Golem is the most absurd Pokemon I've yet seen in this game, never finished or even got halfway through Sun and Moon so I've never seen this form until today. But man is it the most cartoonish Pokemon.
I was blown away when I clicked on it and saw his attack animation. I never knew...
The real benefit here is 40 candies for a Pinap on a Tyranitar or on a Machamp !
So I'm just now returning the game after it's initial release, and I'm noticing next to no Instinct players in my city. Will that put me at a huge disadvantage as a player when I start to raid? I've tried googling around and I can't find a solid answer. Considering doing a restart on a new team but not sure if it would be a waste of time. Currently Level 21, no legendaries or anything special beyond some strong IV Pokemon I like.
Haha yeah just one for the dex - I am low on candies for Tyranitar at the moment, 59 left. The weather was shitty here yesterday but between now and Saturday I'm hoping to fit in some four star raids!
No big disadvantage at all - in fact some things will be easier (always a gym to battle for those quests)
It may be harder for you to get coins and you will get less balls from raids (but everyone will get extras for friendship bonuses so make sure you become friends with those in the raid group in your area).
Thanks for the insight. Never thought about plenty of gyms for me to challenge, I don't think I'll mind that.
Hmm. I wonder what they're gonna do between now and late August as events. There's Zapdos day, Eevee weekend, a new research reward month, and the rotation of raids to Regirock/Registeel. But it'd shock me if there wasn't a larger event in between double candy week and the Japan Safari Zone.
I'm guessing we get at least a theme typed week with new shinies and a returning raid boss with a shiny chance. It's definitely been long enough to rerun Rayquazza, Groudon, or the legendary dogs.
It's a good summary of how Eevee evolutions work in Pokemon Go now, though it's jumping the gun on how many shinies are going to be possible and ignores the possibility that community day evolutions might operate entirely differently.
I was kind of wondering about it though because I don't remember walking an Eevee to evolve it into Espeon or Umbreon, or even evolving them at certain parts of the day. As far as I remember the name trick was all I needed. idk it's been so long...
Yes, the name trick works the first time for each Eevee evolution. After that, you can force an Umbreon or Espeon with the walking trick. So if you only have one Umbreon and Espeon, you would have not had to walk either of them.
There is no way to force evolve a Gen 1 Eevee evolution, after you've already used the name trick.

For the name trick, you don't need to walk them. You only need to walk if you don't have the name trick.
Omg hatching eggs at this rate with more candies popping out is CRAZY good! I feel like I'm playing the loot boxes game with them though hoping for the ones I need.
All the Google Errors today made me lose 3 Raid Passes.
Think it's worth Emailing Niantic and seeing if I could get those returned?

They probably will if you make a reasonable case. I once asked for raid passes and lucky eggs to make up for two raids that were bogged down with technical problems, and they gave it to me.
Absolutely. Especially if you used premium passes. You will want to make sure you list what time and what gyms you used the passes on but they're usually good at refunding those passes.
tokyo is such a dream city for raids, my god
also stopped at the Pokemon store and picked up a few of the Pokemon Fit plushies, so cute

Got my first Alola Vulpix thanks to an egg from Blade25.
Double hatch candy and half distance has been clutch for me as a new player. Had enough coin to get the top bundle with a bunch of super incubators, too. Got my 4th Bagon that took me well over the top to do both evolutions. Got my first Beldum with a whopping 58 candy. Hatched a Scyther which took me from 5 to 47 candy.

I have 151 Alolan Exeggutor, and still no 100%. They really need to add more Pokemon Storage soon.
16th Mewtwo raid on deck before my 15th tomorrow.
I seriously need to consider trading some Mewtwos because they're starting to take up a lot of space in my Pokemon storage. Where's that upgrade to 2000?

I just got my first EX-raid pass, lol. I'm kinda worried about people showing up for it though. Google says a team of 3 with good counters should be enough to win, but the timing of the event is not great. Tyranitar's with dark moves seem like the best counter, but all mine have smack down from the community day event. Any advice on whether that's still a good play or not? Have a bunch of Gengars too which might help.
I wouldn't be worried about turnout. Just plan to arrive 5-15 minutes early. At least around here, everyone is in a rush to get it done and will use that time beforehand to plan out groups. I've never seen fewer than 15 people show up.
There will be plenty of people at the raid. Any of the Dragons are good, Scizor, Alolan Muk will all do some damage.
I keep hatching Trapinch from 10k eggs. 8 From the last 10 10k eggs. It is so annoying because I still desperatly need multiple Bagons and Beldums to fill my Pokédex.
This new glitch with your reward encounters now going immediately into your queue and you don't get the encounter is very annoying. Is there a way to get the encounters to show without having to clear out your queue?
I don't think so. It's unfortunate because it means we can't pinap them before saving it for later.
Have barely been playing this as of late, so I was incredibly suprised and excited to hatch Summer Pichu out of a 2k egg!
I plan on doing a few Zapdos raids on Saturday, but I'm not expending Premium passes for this event. Much more interested in shiny Moltres because it looks much better, but I still don't know if I'll hunt for that one.

Finally hatched an Alolan Vulpix.
I'm never touching these 7km eggs again unless they add something new to them.

that basically happened to me, got one in Egg 64, and one in Egg 70.
I have zero way of being able to be at the EX Raid tomorrow due to work. They really need to improve this system, getting 8 days notice for 1 pm on a weekday is just dumb.
